Pick up a modern IDE and learn a framework in your language of your choice. The rest of the programming concepts are still the same. Learn test driven development, and specialize in your field. Like if you had a frontend background, specialize in frontend and learn react and angular.

Hey all, I'm a Commerce final year student. I have a decent amount of knowledge in Finance however I wanted to learn more about Coding in Python for Finance. I'm hearing quite frequently now that Python is a desired skill and could be used to automate tasks so thought I might as well work on that.

Just wanted to know if Python is the preferred language that I should be going with and also if there are any resources that I could refer to, that'd be great!

Keep in mind please I'm an absolute beginner, with no knowledge of coding whatsoever.

Best Technology to Learn Now a days

Product analyst

I am 4 months into my first job as a product manager. I have never coded in my life except for a basic coding course in college. While I am always eager to understand technical concepts and tend to ask a lot of questions around the same I still feel there's a huge gap in communication. 

This leads to poorly estimated timelines, and often difficulty in assessing feasibility of ideas.

I wish to learn more about software architecture, data management systems and the development processes in general. 

While I know I lack technical expertise, I don't want to discount the possibility of this just being a communication issue within the team. This is a series B startup just entering the growth phase, so no proper processes are set up as of now - again something I will have to streamline.

My question is to all the product managers especially who don't come from a technical background - how did you bridge this gap?

Do you like to code? Do you like upscaling every year? How did you start liking it? If you don’t, how do you plan on staying in the industry?

Do you like being a SWE?

Hey IT industry champs ;)

I have 15 years of Sales and Marketing/Product development and management experience in the BFSI/Fintech domain and want to move to the IT industry.

Educational background:
BCom(H)
MBA(Finance/Marketing).                                                                       

(Not from the Top 20 MBA colleges)

I am open to learning new skills including Coding languages/Tools ,and if you know someone who has successfully moved from non-IT to IT industry after more than a decade of work by upskilling themselves then  please throw in an example.

Looking for some encouraging inputs :)

How can I switch to IT from non IT background after 15 years experience ;)

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have an M.Tech in CS and have worked for only 2 years. I have not been working for the past eight years, and I want  work again, plz help

Data engineer

I am a 6 yrs experienced Software developer and part of a mid-stage startup. This is my third job; I have been working here for 3 years. I was involved here as one of the core engineers at the start in developing the overall platform, After that, my growth as an engineer stagnated for 2 years . 

Constant importance and priority are given to business requirements and hacky work getting pushed to production in the name of fast iterations and business impact every week. 

My engineering manager lacks proper engineering skills and doesn't respect engineers even after their impact on the company and constantly keeps saying the engineering team doesn't contribute to the revenue of the company despite us pushing work that improves business positively. 

Last year around November, around 80% of the engineering team was subtly suggested to start looking out for work (basically a soft layoff) because management was too scared of a social media backlash

Due to all this,2 years' worth of technical debt has accumulated on the overall codebase and apart from giving justification for every code improvement that we try to make there, we still have to work on business/product requirements. 

My growth as an engineer has stopped and I am worried about missing out on the latest developments in the tech industry, especially with AI in the picture, and want to make my skillset somewhat AI-proof. I have come back to hands-on coding this year , so that's a positive start. I am considering taking a 3-4 month break after resigning from my company to study, develop side projects, develop a portfolio etc

Has anyone else been in this boat ? How did you come out strong?

Side Effects of working at startups

Thinking of transitioning from a non-tech CS role to a tech role. Any suggestions on the best skill to learn next? I have intermediate knowledge of Python, C, and Excel. Also, is there any scope for an Analyst role?

Which tech skill should I learn?

Analyst

I am currently working on EXO(exchange online). I want to upskill and after watching how rapidly technology keeps evolving I am not sure what would be the right roadmap.
Need suggestions what could be the skills that I should add that would be beneficial for future prospects as well.

What is most in-demand skill in IT?

As the question says I’m interested in learning to code. Background: the closest I’ve come to coding is writing SQL/R code. 
Last weekend I started with Harvard CS50 class on Edx and I’m interested in pursuing this further. I’m aware of websites like W3CSchools and Replit. But if someone can suggest a path, I’ll be super grateful

How to learn coding (non tech background )

Founder

For the past 1.5 yrs, I have been working for a legacy product and hence didn't learn any new technologies. This job was right out of college and hence I didn't pick this. Entire takeaway from 1.5 yrs was 
1.  Simple Java(version 8) code (no frameworks)
2. SVN for version control
3. Dealt with millions of lines of code and hundreds of services in one single file. 

No new technologies, no cloud, no databases. 

But I am very confident and fluent in Data Structures and Algorithms ( Masters in Theory CS from top IIT). What shall I learn next to keep up with the IT industry? I don't have any particular interest towards say DevOps, BigData. I just like to solve problems.  Please advice.

Want to upgrade myself

I am from a tier 3 college, going to graduate in 2024. With all these layoffs, recession scene going on I am completely stressed out. My college started pretty late, I am in third year within just 1 year of offline college and 1 year of online. Didn't really get time to learn and explore initially, I haven't done much development neither LeetCode, I feel like I am effed now. 

What and how should I start getting a grip on things? I have done basic HTML, CSS, know python and basics of JS plus Java, C and C++. 

I really want some guidance on how to proceed ahead with learning development, I really want a job and get out of my toxic household.

Need guidance

I have 6+ YOE in AWS cloud with Python as background. I know organizations are demanding cloud technologies. But what other skills should I consider for upskilling?

Just wanted to know if doing any Gen AI course will make me more demanding for the organisations ?

Demanding technologies ??

I am currently in a company with 8.55 lpa ctc ( just graduated this year btech cse) . We do python databricks also sql server and IICS .( basically data engineering ) . I don't want to do data engineering. I want to learn something else which is exciting and will give me more pay . So now I am learning Golang but stackoverflow survey says that zig language pays the highest ( quite strange ) . So I want to ask Industry experts what is the hot tech right now , what should I learn which is interesting as well as pays more ?
